| 142. Everything You Need to Know About Liability Insurance for Traveling Therapists | 04 Dec 2024 | 00:20:31 | |
Today, we’re tackling one of the most important topics for location-independent therapists: liability insurance for traveling therapists. It’s the #1 question I get asked in my Facebook group—“What do I do about liability insurance?”—and for good reason. Practicing across state lines or internationally can be confusing, and knowing how to protect yourself, your clients, and your practice is non-negotiable. In this episode, we’ll dive into the ins and outs of liability insurance, explore how to stay compliant with licensing laws, and share tips for simplifying your portable practice.

Ever wondered what life as a nomadic therapist really looks like? In this candid episode, I pull back the curtain on the not-so-glamorous side of nomadic life struggles and share a deeply personal update. From navigating hurricanes and caregiving for my father with early Alzheimer’s to moderating a Facebook group of 20,000 members (amid election drama), it’s been a wild ride. I also talk about balancing multiple income streams, managing a portable practice, and handling the unexpected curveballs that come with a digital nomad lifestyle. This is an unfiltered look at the challenges and lessons I’ve faced recently as a Traveling Therapist. What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

| 40. Month 8 as a Digital Nomad, 3 States, and 1 incredible journey through Northeastern United States | 02 Oct 2022 | 00:38:13 | |
We've been on the road for eight months now, and we've seen some amazing sights! We just finished up a trip to Niagra Falls, and it was incredible. The power and beauty of those falls are truly awe-inspiring.
But that wasn't our only stop on this trip. We also visited Vermont and Maine, both of which were beautiful in their own ways. And now we're in the Poconos, which is definitely one of the most relaxing places we've been to yet.
Of course, along the way we've learned a lot about Airbnb. (In case you didn't know, they can be quite tricky!) We almost ran out of gas in the middle of nowhere Vermont, but thankfully we made it to the next town in time. And we rented electric bikes for the first time while in Maine...which was WAY better than using regular bikes! Haha.
I'm continuing my entrepreneurial journey and have two major projects right now. One is hosting a webinar called "Don't Panic: How to survive a rigorous insurance audit" with Gabrielle Juliano-Villani. She's an expert on the topic and I know her webinar will be packed with valuable information.
The second project is the "Nitty Gritty of Multi-state Private Practice Extension" course with Dr. Lisa Lovelace. Here's a free webinar we created around this topic if you're interested in this topic. Lisa is an amazing speaker and I know this webinar will be packed with useful information for private practice owners who are looking to expand their business into multiple states.
Both of these projects are really exciting and I can't wait to share them with you!!
I hope you enjoy this episode!

“I think it's going to show up in a lot more nuanced ways that we would only get from therapists’ perspective of like being in the room with people that are processing that week after week, you're not necessarily going to hear that from teachers, or parents or people that are dedicated to looking to those specific issues.”

Let this provide you with an indication of Erin’s personality - driven, tenacious and determined!

| 29. How I Incorporate Travel Into My Thriving Entrepreneurial Lifestyle with Patrick Casale | 17 Jul 2022 | 00:29:02 | |
I met with Patrick Casale who discusses his journey from community mental health to thriving entrepreneur. He talks about how he made the transition, what he's been up to since, and some of the challenges he's faced along the way.
It was really interesting to hear about Patrick's journey and get some insights into the entrepreneurial mindset. He's definitely someone who is thinking outside the box and taking some risks - something that I admire.
If you're thinking about making a similar transition, or are just curious to hear about entrepreneurship, then this episode is for you!
“I’ve worked in the helping profession since 2008, and, like many therapists, I started my career in a community mental health job where instead of feeling fulfilled, I felt overworked, burnt out, taken for granted, and underappreciated.
I knew I wanted out but feared the uncertainty of private practice, because, at the time, I had no fucking clue how to start a business. After all, most people who go into the helping profession don’t have a lot of business training, if any at all.
After a lot of work, some struggles, and trial-and-error, I successfully launched my private practice. Then a couple of years after that, I launched a thriving group practice.
I am truly passionate about empowering therapists to take the steps they need to create more successful lives and careers while working flexible hours, taking more vacations, and using their precious clinical skills effectively.
When it comes to being a successful private practice and small business owner, I’ve already been there and done that, so now I help other therapists all over the United States save time, skip the guesswork, and start seeing clients sooner with their own private practices.”
- Patrick Casale

| 28. All things Traveling Therapist Florida Style with Chelsea Sandburg | 10 Jul 2022 | 00:45:49 | |
For today’s episode, we have Chelsea Sanburg who is a licensed mental health counselor. Together with her husband, they have accomplished what they set out to do after years of consciously creating a life that allows for a healthy work/life balance. Even though getting there wasn't always simple, it was worthwhile and along the way, they discovered that travel is a mindset and that it can be purposefully created wherever you are. And with that, today, she will share her journey and her traveling lifestyle.
Traveling and work are two of Chelsea’s core values. She knew that she had to be creative and intentional in building a life that would include both, so she set out to do just that.She and her husband have spent years being intentional in the careers they’ve accepted and where they've lived in order to maximize travel experiences. They moved from Iowa to Florida (with some time in North Carolina and South Dakota in between) and currently spend every weekend traveling. Right now, they spend the majority of their time exploring the state of Florida because there are endless experiences there (and because they never tire of beaches!) but as traveling continues to get easier with covid, they’ve started expanding their travels again.
“Even if you can afford to travel, but you have a crappy mindset, you're gonna shut down when things go wrong, and things will go wrong, they will go wrong every time.”

Join us for this episode with Ruthie Kalai. Ruthie recently traveled to Portugal for a month where she continued to see clients and the country as part of a unique digital nomad travel club. In this episode, Ruthie shares her tips, tricks and experience with being A Traveling Therapist.
She has been a therapist for over 20 years but was always stuck working in schools. It wasn't until she started her remote private practice, that she realized she could travel AND work at the same time. The idea came to her after looking for a way to visit her mom every 6 weeks in Florida to help take care of her during her cognitive decline. That's when she was introduced to teletherapy and soon opened my own private teletherapy practice.
Several years later, she is loving being able to combine her love for travel with her love for her career. She typically travel solo but never really alone because she meet so many people along the way. Her favorite solo trip was in 2016 when she flew off to Southeast Asia for a 6-month adventure. She call it her "Eat, Pray, Love" experience because it was truly that. She recently was able to spend a month in Portugal while seeing clients full-time. It was her first experiment to see if she could work and travel simultaneously and she's thrilled to say it was a total success. It's shown her that she can continue to travel and work at the same time. Her only struggle is navigating time zones when scheduling sessions. That and the occasional wonky Wi-Fi. Up next on her travel itinerary is Boulder, Israel, Venice, and Prague. But she is the kind of person who will most likely say yes if someone invites her to join them so this list might expand as the weeks go by.
She's really excited to share her experiences with you and hopefully show you that traveling therapists do exist! Check out her website, www.ruthiekalai.com.

| 25. Month 4 as a Digital Nomad - Entrepreneurship & Side Hustles - The Ups and Downs | 19 Jun 2022 | 00:34:49 | |
This episode discusses my journey over the last month as a digital nomad, entrepreneur, and creator of side hustles. I discuss the pros and cons of the digital nomad lifestyle, how to make money online, and the challenges I've faced along the way. As you may already know, I'm a big fan of having a side hustle to supplement my income and over the years I've developed 8 of them! In this episode, I discuss my journey as a digital nomad, entrepreneur, and creator. The Traveling Therapist was a sponsor for two therapist summits since my last digital nomad update! I learned a lot as an entrepreneur over the last month. The summits were really meaningful and allowed me to connect, in person, with friends who I've only known through Facebook. It was a real whirlwind, but really awesome to get to connect with friends and even some members of my Bill Like A Boss community for the first time. During this time, I had to fire an employee and this caused a bit of a setback for my launch of the Experts’ Guide To Becoming a Traveling Therapist. No worries! I’m resilient and figured out how to launch the course anyway and found an excellent replacement to help me with all of the launch tech I can't figure out myself. I’m super excited about the course and the Traveling Therapist Extravaganza which starts Monday the 20th of June, 2022 in the Traveling Therapist Facebook group. I’ve been working like crazy to get everything ready and am confident that it will be an excellent event! I’m looking forward to meeting everyone in the community and helping everyone start their Traveling Therapist Journey. Looking forward to seeing you at the Extravaganza, P.S.

| 20. Month 3 As A Digital Nomad. Arizona Edition! | 15 May 2022 | 00:37:06 | |
Welcome back to another episode of the traveling therapist podcast. Every month I love to share my digital nomad update. The good, the bad and the ugly! Lol. And as I say, every time, it has been really a lot of ups and a lot of downs and just a lot of fun in between.
This month was a total whirlwind for us. We really hadn't even planned on being an Arizona for a whole month. It just sorta worked out that way. So. It's been really amazing. We've seen almost, well, definitely not all, but a lot of Arizona. Phoenix, Sedona, Lake Havasu, Page and some places in between. From hiking and swimming to a real ghost story!

| 17. With A Little Planning, Maintaining Healthy Eating And Your Regular Routine Is Possible While Traveling! with Jillian Lama | 24 Apr 2022 | 00:32:09 | |
I’m so excited to share this episode with Jillian Lama. Jillian is a Master Certified Life & Weight Loss Coach who travels quite a bit. She has specialized knowledge in eating well for our body's needs and maintaining a healthy regime even when you are traveling. Additionally, she is an expert in helping people who have special diets, food allergies and other diary restrictions to navigate while traveling.
“I help busy people eat healthy without needing willpower or feeling deprived, so that they can lose weight (and easily maintain it) eating the foods they love.
The only problem is, you’re at war with food after years of dieting, thinking you're not thin enough, pretty enough or good enough.
To make it worse, you haven’t a flaming clue what to eat to lose weight anymore, why you’re binging on chocolate, ice cream and peanut butter, and feel ALL the shame when you don't have the willpower to stick with your 1200 calorie diet.
Body You Crave teaches you to break free from diet-jail, so that you have freedom to eat dessert or a piece of bread (gasp!), without stressing over “falling off the wagon” or calculating how far you'll need to run tomorrow to “burn it off.”
It’s time to end emotional eating, conquer your cravings, and lose excess weight for Life.
When you're ready to eliminate stress, create simple habits that work, and finally wear that dress that's been stuffed in the back of your closet for years...
I'll show you how”

| 14. Changing the Narrative. We Can Work and Travel However We Choose To! with Jeanene Wolf | 03 Apr 2022 | 00:30:32 | |
In this episode, Jeanene and I discuss changing the narrative on how you spend your vacation time. We’ve had enough of the “shaming” voices and “should be advice” in therapist Facebook groups. We get to decide how and when we want to work when we are traveling!
Jeanene is an LCSW in Virginia Beach, VA, and has been a social worker for over 25 years. She is the founder of Oasis for Therapists and an avid supporter of peer consultation and support. She created Oasis to provide a much-needed space for therapists to get the safe, professional support they need and deserve. I know the struggles solo and online practitioners face and found there were many of us out there looking for connection. My vision is to help foster a world with more generous, non-judgmental therapists who want to help other therapists grow and be lifted up. My mission is to support therapists who desire to grow in their work/life balance with confidence and connection so they can care for themselves the way they care for their clients.

| 10. My First Month As A Digital Nomad - What A Wild Ride It Has Been! | 07 Mar 2022 | 00:36:15 | |
This is the Last episode of season one of the traveling therapist! What a season!! We’ve had over 2000 unique listeners which really warms my heart! I just get so excited about the impact this podcast is having on people. I’m getting messages and emails everyday about therapists feeling inspired to start traveling, now, while they are working and no longer feeling the need to wait. This is what it’s all about. The.whole.reason I created The Traveling Therapist.
I’m also so happy to announce that we’ve had two sponsors for The Traveling Therapist podcast in the first season. Which totally blows me away. Part of my traveling obsession is being able to create different income streams to help me work less and be able to explore more. I’m really seeing that dream come true. Having sponsors allows me to have more space to create traveling therapist content and actually explore while I’m traveling.
For the second season, I decided to change the theme a bit. There are so many traveling experts out there that have specific travel niches. I went searching for all kinds of experts. You won’t believe who I found. Have you ever heard of a career break and sabbatical coach? Me either! I can’t wait to share everything I’ve learned.
Also, during this first season I’ve been furiously working on The Traveling Therapist course. Soon to be released!! I am so completely excited to share this course with you. —--------- Your Therapy Practice is All Online ✅. You Love To Travel ✅.
Now What ??
A comprehensive course showing you how to travel the world, fund your traveling obsession, and still see your clients.
Learn from actual Traveling Therapists that are already making this lifestyle a reality.
THIS COURSE INCLUDES 20+ TRAININGS FROM EXPERT TRAVELING THERAPISTS:

| 09. I Moved To Mexico! with Cassie Coleman-Heppler | 28 Feb 2022 | 00:43:44 | |
Cassie shares her journey from being a traditional therapist to a traveling online therapist way before it was a norm in the field. In this episode, Cassie discusses the path she traveled to end up living in Mexico! If you are thinking of moving to Mexico permanently, this is the episode for you!
I have been a therapist for 22 years and worked with a diverse population and locations. From residential care to community mental health, universities and working for the British Government as a specialist social worker. It was that move from 2005-2008 in England that really set the seed for me to become a traveling therapist. I started a private practice on the side and started doing virtual therapy/platforms in 2012, while my colleagues just scratched their heads in confusion, assured in their belief that only in-person therapy works. I loved it. For the next few years, I planned the next phase of my life where we bought and renovated a home in the capital of the Yucatan in Mexico and have been using that as a home base while I am still able to travel, work and connect to family and friends in a way I never could historically.
“So when we chose Mexico, it looked like my husband had guidelines, like no natural disasters, like he didn't want to live on the Pacific side, because it was like, you know, and so there were those kinds of things to consider. And MERIT has been named one of the safest cities in the world. It's number two safest and all of the Americas behind Quebec.”
